Letchworth State Park

Letchworth State Park, located in western New York, is often called the “Grand Canyon of the East.” This picturesque destination features dramatic cliffs and waterfalls along the Genesee River. The striking gorge is surrounded by lush forests, especially stunning during the fall when the foliage bursts into vibrant colors.

The park's geological formations are a result of glacial activity from thousands of years ago, creating a breathtaking landscape of layered rock walls. One of the highlights is the three major waterfalls, known as the Upper, Middle, and Lower Falls, each offering majestic views. A popular spot for hiking, kayaking, and hot air ballooning, there's no shortage of outdoor activities to enjoy.

Historical elements also add to its charm. The Glen Iris Inn, once the residence of William Pryor Letchworth, the park’s benefactor, provides a glimpse into 19th-century elegance. With over 60 miles of trails and excellent recreational facilities, Letchworth State Park is an inviting refuge for nature enthusiasts.

Experience the awe of this natural wonder and make unforgettable memories.
